Online whiteboards seem to be promoted mostly for the business sector but they have several very obvious advantages for educational use. These tools provide simultaneous collaboration on a surface that resembles a whiteboard. Users can ad text, line drawings or images - all of which can be moved, resized, duplicated or deleted by any user.
Dabbleboard is an excellent example of this type of tool. Its advantages over other similar sites are its ability to import images from your computer or the internet, its ability to create a reusable library and its variety of line drawing options. A task could begin with a blank canvas or with a template to be completed by users. On your first visit to Dabbleboard it is a good idea to Take the Tour and watch a short video and read about some of its functionality.
Scribblar is a similar tool that is also quite versatile and impressive to use.
Scriblink has similar functionality but is definitely aimed at business and lacks the fine detail to match the other two.
